It must be other app related... big question is what app..

I also get FC the second I'm trying to view text message in the default messaging app.

damn!!!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
As long as the modem is packed for cm7 it will work.

Check your APN settings and verify that your IMEI doesn't start with 004
[Captivate Android Development] rotman253:
thanks , checked it -all good

as a matter of fact I could receive SMS when the install was freshly new... I've lost it somewhere by installing all my old apps.

I suspect the GO SMS PRO , but I've uninstalled it and still cant receive texts..

I think I have no other choice but to flash it again...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Remember to not restore data. I've never used any 3rd party sms apps on ICS so can't confirm if it has that nasty side effect. Try reflashing with out a wipe first. If that doesn't work wipe and flash. Sorry I can't be more helpful =/
[Captivate Android Development] rotman253:
thanks man ,

hope it'll work , will try it without wipe , good idea
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
I have been using go sms pro on ics since day one and have had no issues with it but i do un install the stock messaging app

Someome have a guide to install this rom, im coming from Official rogers 2.3 rom.. all is stock.

[RANT]OMG, READ THE OP!!![/RANT]

Sorry please read the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] maxpower1985:
that sais to flash the rom.. thats it.. how please..
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
I am not trying to be rude or anything, but if you don't know what 'flash it' means then You should stay away from this ROM... Flash from CWM
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If you don't know how to use CWM or ODIN or Heimdall then I suggest you DON'T flash this rom and READ this, this and this. AOSP roms are not for newbs at least basic understanding is required.
[Captivate Android Development] maxpower1985:
Thanks.. its ok to keep the stock kernel?

You mean it will work with ICSSGS rom?I don't wanna flash Team hacksungs rom since I consider it to have less functionality I mean did you see how many known issues they have.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
I flashed RC 4.2 but then made the mistake of trying to restore "bookmarks" from a GB ROM. *facepalm*. Now, my ICS browser "closes unexpectedly". I tried reflashing but it didn't help - I still get the same error. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] DudeWatsThat:
Rough guess* Clear cache,dalvik and reboot? Maybe that will work.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If that doesn't work Factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
lol wiping data on your Browser app (no need for a factory reset) should do it. When you reflash the ROM the script sees you are already on RC4 and doesn't wipe data, so the /data/data directory for the Browser still exists, even though the .apk itself is replaced. Just wipe data on the brower app from Settings and you should be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] rotman253:
just had it today... go to apps(bla bla bla) and clear data of the browser . it will do the trick.

camera

Hi there ,

couple of questions :

1) Is there any way to set the micro sd card as the default store locations for the camera's photos?

2) Is there any way to install the stock samsung GB clock app? I really want that timer and world clock options...

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Hey just flashed, everything seems to work but i can't connect to google servers on data. It keeps switching between H and 3G but never goes blue? It works on Wifi though. Anyone see if this or know a solution?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
1. no

2. maybe. try to install it. if it installs, it works. if it doesnt, it dont.

many reasons why im still on RC3.1 on my daily use phone.
[Captivate Android Development] rotman253:
1. shame...

2. tried it just now with Titanium it got stuck whenever I try to install the clock app (or the memo app) ... that's pretty shame too.

any suggestions for a good timer app?

thank you for your help
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Updated the OP to hopefully make it more idiot proof.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Yes, that did work. I actually had tried to do that in the app settings but couldn't find the ICS browser app in the list. I read your instructions and went back to the same screen and realized I just hadn't scrolled the tabs far enough to the right to see the options for "All". Doh!

Thanks to the many who responded.

Data meter accuracy

Hey Team ICSSGS,

awesome work on the ROM. I'm sporting the newest build 4.2 and it's great, sleek and as close to a stable build as I need. Thanks all

I have been metering my data - of which I spent half of my one gb plan and Rogers is telling me I already used 80 per cent. I am an Editor for a paper and was looking to do an investigation into their metering. I wonder if:

1) Is there any reason why the data metering may be off in this build?

2) Has anyone else noticed Rogers or any provider claiming they used more than the data meter said they have?

Thanks again. You guys rock!

Kernel?

I a bit stumped??? Ive been running all the ICS versions without very many issues until now? I flashed Semaphore.081....Since Im on a Cappy, it messed up my orientation and keys...I have the files somewhere on my pc for other Roms to fix this issue? Can someone point me in the right direction to quickly fix this issue?

Screen Orientation and button fix? Thanks and maybe point me to a better kernel?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] :
Don't use i9000 kernels. You must use only the kernels in the Captivate Development Forums.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Kernel reorientation is modification from source. Then the rom needs some files for home key to work properly (this rom has that already). So unless your a wiz with kernel building you are limited to Platypus and Icy Glitch
[Captivate Android Development] D@rkDroid:
I've been having this issue since GB and still have no clue why the heck it keeps telling me that the picture couldn't be uploaded. I can upload from the phone using the web page but not from the app. Some crazy sh#&*%!

I got the same problem from beta to RC4.2 and also cm9

my router is TP-Link 1043ND, using WPA2 PSK

without encryption/using WEP is fine, have not try WPA1

[Captivate Android Development] panda703:
Don't see this reported. On 4.1/4.2 Bluetooth works in my car initially, then after disconnecting (leave the car etc...) it fails to connect I have to re-pair the phone. Other than that 4.2 works great
[Captivate Android Development] rotman253:
damn! I have the exact same router!

although mainly I was trying to connect to a TP-LINK repeater when I had those issues.

So maybe it's just a problem with the TP-Link? I must know because I am flying to europe next week and wouldn't want to get stuck without wifi connections...

do you use the key regeneration every X seconds feature when using the WAP2 PSK?

can you please explain how you connect using WPS/QSS?

p.s

this morning tried to connect to the same wifi and it got connected in like 1.5 seconds.... weird....

huge problem for me... If I'm on a public place I can't do that.. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] scrubinator:
I have the same problem with every ICS rom to ever come out for the captivate: I randomly lose all signal and the only way to fix it is either a reboot, or toggling airplane mode on and off. On some roms only a reboot helps. WHAT IS THIS!?!? It is driving me nuts.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Change modem. Some are more susceptible to low reception and will lose the signal more often. The are no magic app/patch for this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] scrubinator:
I don't think going from full signal to none while sitting still is a reception issue. Furthermore, it doesn't matter what radio I use, they all behave in the same way. At first I thought it was an i9000 kernel issue, however it happens regardless of kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Have you tried going stock and see if the issue arise?

Did you try to go 2G only and see if your signal holds?

It could be a bad 3G signal and your phone is dropping in/out to boost your signal. You could be between two towers and your phone jumps from one to another because of low signal. Could be a bad antenna if the problem persist under stock and 2G only. There are alot of things that can cause this issue and the phone itself can be the source. You have to factor out every possibility to narrow it down.
[Captivate Android Development] scrubinator:
I'm switching to 2g only and we'll see if it holds. I'll know in a few hours.

I would be surprised if it has to do with towers, it isn't something that happens exclusively in low signal areas.

At work I have full HSUPA+ signal and it still happens, at home I barely get 3g signal and it happens there.

It happens at my girlfriend's house too and there is moderate to high HSUPA+ signal.

The problem DOES NOT persist with stock roms.

******************UPDATE***************

FACTS:

Loses signal when set to 2g only or not

Loses signal with wifi on or not

Seems to only lose signal while the phone is sleeping

Loses signal when sitting still and at full signal

Loses signal in most if not all custom roms

DOES NOT lose signal on stock or close-to-stock roms

DOES NOT lose signal when data is disabled entirely

After updateing to 4.2 I had some issued using Wifi:

connection was REALLY slow, and stopped after a few minutes..

turning off and on the wifi gave me a slow wifi connection again.

I reinstaled Wifixmanager, et voila! working in normal speed again!

I have 4.1 and may look at doing the 4.2 upgrade, but a couple issues that I had on it....wondering if anyone can help.

Camera not saving to external sd...know this is known, but didn't see if there was a fix yet. Somewhat related is hacking the camera to use the power button for taking pics. Will all the cam issues be fixed at one time?

Biggest issue is when I used to run GB and had an Xcal compatible kernel, the phone would play through my car stereo on the dock using his sound dock redirector app. This rom and stock kernal isn't supported and the stereo plays fine through the dock (alot better than before actually) but I'm now back to using my BT headset for calls and I used to love just using the stereo. Anyone have/know a workaround for this?

thanks in advance! Other than that, I'm loving the ICS rom!

All is working now. It seems after connecting to WiFi first, then going to Market and Facebook, then disconnecting from WiFi, I could hit both OTA. So far so good.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

I had this with Twitter, FB, and Market. I couldn't connect to any of them. So I connected to WiFi, then opened each app and waited for a connection to verify I could sync. Once I verified, I got off of WiFi and went into those apps, and then they started working again. Don't know if it will help you, but this is what solved my issues.
[Captivate Android Development] rotman253:
works!

I am having this exact same problem. I am using build 4.2 and have a microcell about 15 feet from my phone when I go to bed. In the mornings when i wake up I can reliably say that I have no signal bars, but a solid grey triangle (best as I can see) and flipping wifi, airplane mode or wireless data has no effect regaining signal.

The only fix I've found is a full reboot.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the hard work! I love ics!
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
can also duplicate this problem on a friggin daily basis and its aggrevating to say the least. whats even more annoying is i use google voice to talk on the phone since its CONSTANTLY dropping out and for some reason when my signal drops, my wifi drops for a second disconnecting my conversation. i blame at&t most of the time because i get a horrible signal in my home and thought of getting a micro cell for this reason alone but this even happened to me on GB minus the google voice issue.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
mbc663,

what modem do you use? we have a Microcell at work and I live in a rural area with poor coverage as well. we live on the very edge of 3g and the 2g isnt very good. My office is a steel warehouse so nothing makes it inside, hence the microcell. have you tried teh UGKG3 modem? I used that on this ROM and it worked really good for me in low signal areas. I recently swapped to the Collective ICS rom and it works on that one good too...

Got it from this page..

[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
ive been back and forth between kp1 and jk4. im seriously starting to doubt its modem related. if my signal drops, the modem isnt going to do anything. i will however give kg3 a try tonight, oddly i dont know why i havent yet with all the talk about it. i though kp1 is as good as it gets with the 10-20 i tried. ill let u know tonight how its working out for me. thanks bro.

Sorry if this has been answered already but I have checked the Q&A as well as done a search on this forum with no luck. I am running into the problem of not being able to write files from my PC to the Internal or External SD card when connected via USB. I keep getting the error that it is write-protected.

1. Have you tried to removing the external card and reboot ?

Yes I have. I have unmounted, ejected, rebooted and tried transferring to just the phone, no luck. Re-inserted the SD and tried writing to phone and card, no luck

2. Have you by any chance activated the ICS encryption feature ?

Haven't touched ICS encryption at all. None of the ICS versions have allowed me to successfully write files to my phone. Pre-ICS allows me just fine.

Was just reading on cm9 thread that they can select "back button kills app" under developer options....that would be absolutely HUGE if it could be implemented here because up until now on ANY rom eclair froyo or gb, backing out of an app doesn't completely kill it from ram...just making it take longer to reload. We have an option to kill as soon as user leaves app but that's too much....just pressing home button kills it.

[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
too much junk stays in ram. Example: let's say you opened up Facebook on accident. You back out and jump on xda. Fb's taking up ~40mb ram. Not to mention killing any other apps you wanted in memory to make room for it. I think its a MILLION times more useful than the "kill app soon as user leaves" option we have now because even just pressing home kills apps

At least for me,, the back button kills app option would be MASSSSSIVE
